Behaviour

Our Code of Conduct is very simple:
SAFE
I will behave safely, keeping myself and everybody else safe.
RESPECT
I will show respect for myself, everybody else, and property.
LEARN
I will do my best to learn, concentrating well and trying hard.
All of our pupils have been permanently excluded from schools due to poor behaviour. We use our pupils’ time at Sycamore to support their personal, social and emotional development in order to bring about improved behaviour. These elements run across our curriculum as well as every interaction with our pupils.
